EVMK2H: Problems with building IPC for Linux-RT

Part Number: EVMK2H

What I want to do: Use Linux-RT on ARM side of EVMK2H and be able to send and receive data from DSP cores.

What I did in the past is using Syslink shared region example, but that was for a older board. This newer board now has Processor-SDK, so I have the latest Processor SDK Linux-RT and RTOS versions. And I found the IPC example on the Matrix 2.0 demo, therefore I looked into IPC examples. I started to follow this guide: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../File:Guide_Keystone_II_IPC_examples_.zip

I setup my products.mak file like so:

I already installed all of the 32bit libs listed on this page: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Sitara_Linux_SDK_64_Bit_Ubuntu_Support

Am I going in the right direction for what I want to do? Or should I be using something other than IPC
